During this period of change in our social history 1860 -1885 womens fashions saw a radical transformation becoming much less restrictive, with a low-cut neckline, back-swept hairstyles with long flowing curls, all revealing & most appealing, became the fashion of the day. With more of a womans silky white skin being revealed, (tanned skin was considered to be very common) the need to add some sparkle resulted in the jewellery business flourishing not only in the United Kingdom but throughout all the other Kingdoms of Europe. The great Victorian passion for knowledge & ancient history with amazing discoveries from long forgotten ancient civilizations shaped the era as craftsmen looked back & revived the ancient period styles & craftsmanship. To-day some 150 years on, we still have a great passion for the fine jewellery, the quality & imaginative artistry that has become known as the Victorian Grand Period.
